Chapter 163: Chapter 153, Seeking Solutions to Overcome Day and Night

Under the night sky, Eight Sceneries Palace stood atop a mountain, a hexagonal lantern hung at the highest point of the palace, flickering with a gentle flame that illuminated the Tao Palace with exceptional tranquility.

Bai Jin and Xuandu landed in front of Eight Sceneries Palace.

Both of them stretched out their hands and beckoned, saying in unison, "Senior brother, please, after you."

They both paused, exchanged glances, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Xuandu said with a smile, "Senior brother, guests should always come first. Please, after you."

"Senior brother, it hurts to hear you talking like that. I’ve always thought of Eight Sceneries Palace as my own home. To think that in your eyes, I’m still just a visitor." Bai Jin shook his head and sighed, pretending to be deeply wounded.

Xuandu hurriedly bowed and said, "I misspoke, senior brother. Please excuse me."

"Then go on in!" Bai Jin pushed with a smile, and Xuandu, who was bowing in salutation, caught off guard, stumbled inside.

Xuandu stabilized himself, straightened up, and said helplessly, "Senior brother, such behavior is not fitting of your status."

Bai Jin strolled in laughing, "Being at Eight Sceneries Palace is like coming home. My status here is that of a younger generation to our Eldest Uncle."

"Since senior brother puts it that way, I’ll leave you to it. I won’t lead the way." Xuandu said, hands behind his back, turned and left with an elegant and extraordinary demeanor.

"I, Xuandu, will eventually turn my back on the common folk, suppressing all enemies in the world!" A distant voice echoed, similar in tone to Xuandu but filled with the loneliness of invincibility.

Xuandu swiftly turned back, bowing with a wry smile, "Senior brother, please don’t put me in such a position!"

Bai Jin laughed out loud and walked towards the grand hall of Eight Sceneries Palace, bowing before the hall’s entrance, "Disciple seeks an audience with Eldest Uncle."

"Come in," came the reply.

Upon entering the grand hall, Bai Jin saw Senior Master Taishang leisurely enjoying his tea at a table.

Bai Jin approached and bowed, "Eldest Uncle!"

Setting his tea aside, Taishang said gently, "Come, sit down."

"Yes," Bai Jin responded, walked over, picked up the teapot on the table, respectfully filled Taishang’s teacup, and then sat opposite to him.

"You! Xuandu is steady and sincere; try not to play pranks on him," Taishang said with a hint of resignation.

Bai Jin grinned, "Master, actually I am quite sincere myself."

Taishang shook his head, smiling.

Bai Jin spoke earnestly, "Master, in fact, I’ve come to seek guidance."

"On what matter?"

"For the endless beings of the Primordial World."

Taishang looked at Bai Jin.

"Master, haven’t you also felt that the days and nights are too long? Such lengthy nights don’t affect us much, but for ordinary creatures, each night is a daunting calamity, and with each evening, tens of thousands perish."

Taishang nodded, somewhat enlightened, "I understand what you mean. The creatures returning to the ordinary is the grand trend of Heavenly Dao, beneficial for the Primordial World. The alternation of day and night is also a law of Primordial World, not to be changed."

"Master, can’t you do it? Just shortening the duration of day and night would suffice," Bai Jin said with hope.

Taishang shook his head, "It has been so since the beginning of Heaven and Earth. Changing the cycle of day and night would shake the Primordial Origin; the Heavenly Dao does not permit it." He paused, then added, "However, that does not mean there is no way."

Bai Jin quickly stood up, bowing solemnly, "Please teach me, Master."

Taishang looked at Bai Jin, speaking gently, "Day and night are unchanging since ancient times, but a Heavenly Curtain can be erected to separate the sun, moon, and stars. Beneath the Heavenly Curtain, another Great Sun can be established to revolve."

An idea flashed in Bai Jin’s mind, and he blurted out spontaneously, "One day in the heavens is one year on earth."

Taishang nodded with satisfaction, "Your comprehension is quite good."

Bai Jin expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for the enlightenment, Eldest Uncle! How should this Heavenly Curtain be established?"

Pointing above, Taishang said with a smile, "Go on now."

"Do you mean the Heavenly Court?"

"The Heavenly Court governs Heaven and Earth; it should be they who establish the Heavenly Curtain. But it won’t be easy to erect the Heavenly Curtain, I’m afraid Hao Tian might not agree."

Bai Jin asked with confusion, "Why is that?"

Taishang said leisurely, "Above the Primordial World, whether they are Demon Immortals or Gods, can all draw from the power of the sun, moon, and stars for cultivation. Once the Heavenly Curtain is established, it will block the light of the sun, moon, and stars. How could they just sit idly by?

Bai Jin, if you wish to make this happen, you must be prepared to pay a price to move Hao Tian. You need to ready your heart for it."

Bai Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "Disciple understands."

Taishang spoke gently, "If it really can’t be done, don’t force it. There are other methods."

"Yes, Disciple understands! Master, there is another matter I’d like to consult you on."

Taishang picked up his wine cup and said leisurely, "What matter?"

Bai Jin hesitated and then asked, "Master, do you understand women?"

"Cough, cough~" Taishang coughed continuously, amused, and said, "What’s this? Looking for a Daoist couple now? Is it Shi Ji or Gu Liang? Or perhaps that Yun Xiao?"

Bai Jin said in surprise, "Master, you actually know about Yun Xiao?!"

"The people by your side, I’ve paid a bit more attention to them indeed. There is some talent there, that Kong Xuan and Golden Peng could use more attention."

Bai Jin said with a touched expression, "Master has always been caring about Disciple, Disciple is so moved."

Taishang laughed heartily and said, "Tell me! Who have you taken a fancy to? I’ll offer you some advice."

"Uh~ It’s not that."

"Not them?" said Taishang as his brow furrowed slightly. "Could it be Bixiao and Qiong Xiao? They are a bit too lively, not a perfect match, but if you insist..."

Bai Jin said helplessly, "Eldest Uncle, what I meant was about Nuwa and Peace Heart Lady."

"Ptui~" Taishang sprayed out the tea from his mouth and looked incredulously at Bai Jin, his lips trembling slightly.

Bai Jin hurriedly explained, "Eldest Uncle, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying I want to make them my Daoist couple. No, that’s wrong, I have no intention of finding a Daoist couple at all."

Taishang heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, "It’s good that it’s not about finding a Daoist couple, good!" and said irritably, "Speak clearly when you talk. You almost gave me a fright."

Bai Jin responded with silence. Was it really me who wasn’t clear? It was clearly your wild guess.

Taishang asked, "What’s wrong with them?"

Bai Jin said honestly, "Disciple has a pure friendship with both Nuwa and Peace Heart Lady, but recently, I’ve found there to be some misunderstandings between them. They are two of the most incredible goddesses in the Primordial World, why can they not see eye to eye? It’s very difficult for me being stuck in the middle! So I wanted to ask Master for some advice to help ease the relationship between them."

"What did you ask me before?"

"Why can’t they see eye to eye?"

"The sentence before that."

"Master, do you understand women?"

Taishang said with frustration, "No, I don’t!"

"Eh~ Master, are you brushing me off? You are a Saint."

"Even Saints don’t understand!"

Bai Jin felt dejected and muttered, "How am I to handle this? Why can’t they get along? It’s tiring having to look after both sides!"

Taishang looked kindly at Bai Jin and asked, "Bai Jin, how does your Eldest Uncle treat you?"

"Eldest Uncle has always been extremely good to Disciple."

Taishang said softly, "Now Eldest Uncle is entrusting you with something, you need to keep it in mind."

Bai Jin nodded his head, his mind alert. With such a solemn entrusting from Eldest Uncle, it must be a great matter. Could it be another mission is about to be assigned?!

"If one day you’re being pursued by Nuwa and Peace Heart, remember never to come seeking refuge at Eldest Uncle’s Eight Sceneries Palace. Eldest Uncle is old and not very mobile anymore, I could not run.

Your first course of action should be to seek refuge at Yuxu Palace and Biyou Palace. You must believe, your Second Master and your Master love you very much, they will definitely protect you."

Bai Jin looked at Taishang, stunned, his mind echoing with only one thought: Damn~ Is he really that heartless?
